The Taxing Wealth Report 2024 shows that austerity is not needed in the UK. Instead, we can have decent public services employing appropriately paid people, and we can invest in our future. Download it here taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/04/0…

Wes Streting can’t blame the NHS for its failings: that’s all down to political choice and he’s now responsible for them taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/07/2… Wes Streeting is saying the NHS has failed. But that's not true. Tory decision-making on the NHS failed. Now, he has to show he can make better decisions, and not blame NHS staff if he can't.

Bird flu infecting more humans in 🇺🇸 - now we’re at 13 confirmed people infected. Either from sick birds or cows. The more chances it has to jump into humans, more opportunities to mutate. Yes there’s a vaccine but preventing spread should be imperative. mirror.co.uk/news/health/bi…

Labour will fail in government if it does not reduce inequality, says new MP theguardian.com/inequality/art…

"Thames Water Stake Written Off by Australian Shareholder." Queensland govt has written off their whole investment in @thameswater. Ontario pension fund did the same. USS written off 2/3 of theirs. Over 56% of TW shares now worthless. Tick tock...💥 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Child poverty in the UK could be eliminated by ending the higher rate tax relief on pension contributions that the wealthiest enjoy, with about £12 billion left over to end other Tory abuses of those in need. But Labour prefers benefits for the wealthy, not those in need.

Conservative MP Brandon Lewis earns £250,000 working one day a week for two sanctioned Russians, he has 6 other 'second' jobs as well. Is there any other explanation for this than corruption?

What a load of total nonsense. It is impossible for the UK as it stands to go bankrupt. Our government can create all the money it ever needs to pay any obligation has.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that instead of spending £700 million to send four volunteers to Rwanda, the government could have given £1 million to 700 schools in the most deprived areas of the UK. Absolutely shameful.

Liz Truss doesn't think Kamala Harris is qualified to lead a country. That's a problem because if anyone knows about not being qualified to lead a country it's Liz Truss: twitter.com/wallstreetcar/…

So there we have it, it's all over bar the screaming. Moody's, the corporate credit agency has just rated @Thameswater's debt pile as "junk", worthless, don't go there, a shambles, a speculative steaming pile of... Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock... 💥 cityam.com/moodys-ratings…

Wes Streeting, "The condition of the whole NHS estate is poor. In fact backlog maintenance, the cost of bringing the NHS estate into compliance with mandatory fire safety requirements and statutory safety legislation currently stands at £11.6 billion - that is the legacy of the Conservative government" The Conservatives planned to give Rwanda £10 billion but didn't budget to fix our crumbling NHS hospitals - shame on them

I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety for over 25 years. I thought I’d share some things that help me. Not medical advice but rather trial and error through many dark days of personal experience. Here are 10 things that help me battle anxiety and depression… (1/12)

Before this election, I asked successive Tory governments if they would create safe routes for asylum seekers. I did not receive an answer. Yesterday, I asked a Labour government if it would create safe routes for asylum seekers. I did not receive an answer.
